The Miami Dolphins held the ball for more than 32 minutes, finished just 18 yards behind Kansas City, and matched the Chiefs with 18 first downs. But the final score was Chiefs 24, Dolphins 10—and the difference was what happened when the game turned on a handful of high-pressure plays.Kansas City scored touchdowns on its first two possessions. Miami answered with a 17-play, 91-yard touchdown drive finished by Ollie Gordon, but De’Von Achane left with a knee injury and did not return. The Dolphins defense then settled in, shut out the Chiefs in the third quarter, and kept Miami within striking distance.Rookie Jacob Rodriguez made one of the game’s biggest plays, diving for an interception off Patrick Mahomes and returning it 18 yards. Chris Bell came up with a big catch, Caleb Douglas drew penalties, and Greg Dulcich gave Miami a spark in the passing game. The defense also stopped Kansas City on fourth down and made a goal-to-go stand that forced a field goal.Miami had opportunities to turn those moments into a comeback. Instead, the Dolphins finished with two turnovers and eight penalties for 64 yards. With about six minutes left, they went for it on fourth-and-five from their own 48 and came up short. Kansas City answered with a five-play touchdown drive, capped by Mahomes’ 11-yard pass to Travis Kelce. Willis threw a late interception, and even though Harrison Butker missed a 50-yard field goal, the game was already decided.GRIES, Kyle Crabbs, and Jeff “Z” Zgonina break down the defensive adjustment, Rodriguez’s rookie performance, Achane’s injury, Miami’s missed chances, and the fourth-down decision that set up Kansas City’s final touchdown.#MiamiDolphins #ChiefsKingdom #DolphinsSquadShow #NFL #DolphinsPostgame***** 'LIVE' Miami Dolphins Commentary + Analysis from Miami Dolphins Defensive Tackle Jeff “Z” Zgonina, Locked On Dolphins' Kyle Crabbs and Host Jim “GRIES” Grieshaber.We will be right here 'LIVE' with your DOLPHINS SQUAD SHOW every Wednesday at noon ET, and after every Miami Dolphins game.-----Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!HomeChefFor a limited time, Home Chef is offering my listeners FIFTY PERCENT OFF and free shipping for your first box PLUS free dessert for life!

The Miami Dolphins are 0-2, and Jeff Hafley isn't pretending everything is fine.Miami has ZERO sacks through two games, has allowed points on 10 of 17 defensive possessions and has yet to record a first-half defensive stop this season. After reviewing the 35-13 loss to San Francisco, Hafley acknowledged that the Dolphins are discussing potential changes in playing time at certain positions.So who is in the crosshairs?GRIES, Kyle Crabbs and former Dolphins defensive lineman Jeff Zgonina grade the biggest concerns on Miami's roster, including the nonexistent pass rush, communication breakdowns in the secondary, Austin Jackson and the offensive line, Malik Willis and the passing game, and a defense that allowed Brock Purdy to complete 20 of 22 passes.But there are young Dolphins making their case for bigger roles. Michael Taaffe has taken ownership of the secondary's communication issues, Kadyn Proctor continues to develop, Will Kacmarek is making noise on film, and De'Von Achane and the running game showed signs of becoming the foundation of Miami's offensive identity.Plus, we update the status of Chop Robinson, Caleb Douglas and Jaylen Wright, examine Miami's addition of EDGE Andre Jones Jr. and ask which players deserve more snaps as Hafley continues building one of the NFL's youngest teams.And then there's Sunday.Patrick Mahomes and the 2-0 Kansas City Chiefs are coming to Hard Rock Stadium after Mahomes threw for 382 yards and three touchdowns in Kansas City's Week 2 overtime win.
